Hi, DunkSocial!
What a jump for Hive ecosystem!
I'm delighted to make my first post here.
And I want to simply start by talking about a few movies that I loved where Basketball is a main topic.
The best basketball movies are full of passion, nostalgia and moments that make your heart jump. Here are my picks for the best movies.
In the last decades, basketball fans have been pampered with a lot of movies about this sport, which manage to capture the drama, both on and off the field. Here are 15 of the best, in my humble opinion!
Considered by many to be the most authentic basketball movie of all time, "He Got Game" tells the story of Jesus Shuttleworth, a talented basketball player played by NBA superstar Ray Allen.
"Space Jam" made an entire generation love basketball, thanks to the greatest player of all time. The evil aliens stole the talent to play basketball of all the players in the world, but they forgot Michael Jordan, withdrawn from the spotlight. In an attempt to save basketball and the world, Bugs Bunny and the rest of the Looney Tunes gang convince MJ that the fate of the world is in his hands.
Rucker Park in New York is probably the most famous place in the world, where many NBA players play basketball in their free time. Played by NBA superstar Kyrie Irving, Uncle Drew is a guy who missed his shot, but is about to get a new chance, right in the park.
This film with Kevin Bacon tells the story of a second coach who goes to Africa to recruit a young talent in basketball. Back in the US, the two realize that they have a lot to learn from each other.
Often called "Good Will Hunting" among basketball movies, "Finding Forrester" is about a talented 16-year-old basketball player with a talent for writing. But having two completely different talents can complicate things more than you might think.
Many of us dream of becoming basketball players, but being on top is a long and difficult journey, no matter how talented you may be. This documentary follows the story of two high school students who face all kinds of challenges on their way to professional basketball.
This comedy is one of the first films that popularized basket throwing, a global phenomenon. It's about the challenges that the characters played by Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes have on and off the field as they earn money from 2 to 2 basketball games.
This comedy is more about basketball fans than the game itself and tells the story of two Boston Celtics fans who would do anything to get their favorite team to win the NBA championship. It's not only funny, but it's also a tribute to one of the most beloved teams in the country.
Not all basketball movies are about that final throw and winning the game. "Love and Basketball" is a love story between a girl and a boy with a common passion for this sport and it's more about life outside the field than inside.
When it comes to inspirational basketball coaches, "Hoosiers" portrays Gene Hackman as Norman Dale, a 1950s Indiana college coach with a hidden past. The film shows how hard work and discipline can help you overcome anything that is against you.
Many movies talk in detail about the special relationship between a sports coach and his players, but few do so in such an easy and understandable way. With Samuel L. Jackson, "Coach Carter" shows the importance of education, no matter how good you are at sports.
This beautifully written and presented drama is based on a true story of a basketball team from a college in the 1960s. The film goes beyond basketball and presents the racial abyss of those times, urging us to judge people only on the merits. they have.
With the special presence of Tupak Shakur, this film tells the story of a high school basketball player, a rising star with a bright future, who grabs the wrong people. It's a familiar story that should be a life lesson for any aspiring player.
America in the 1970s meant eye-catching clothes, weird hairstyles and a lot of basketball. This comedy with Will Ferrell tells the story of a guy who spent all his money to buy a bachet team and then did what each of us would have done: he took the position of striker in the team.
Any fan of Michael Jordan dreamed of being in his slippers, and the kid in the movie, played by Lil 'Bow Wow, had this chance. "Like Mike" is the story of Calvin Cambridge, an orphan who finds an old pair of sneakers with the initials MJ, which give him supernatural powers.
